IMPORTANT:
Before assembly, place
the tractor on a firm,
level surface, disengage
the PTO, turn off tractor
engine and set the park-
ing brake.
NOTE:
If the grass collection
system is removed for
any reason, it is not
necessary to remove the
support brackets from the
tractor.
IMPORTANT:
There are two holes in
the clevis pin. Be sure
to insert the hairpin
clip in the upper hole
to properly secure the
bracket assembly to the
hitch plate.
NOTE:
For some tractor
models, this clevis
pin is too large. Use a
smaller clevis pin in
its place with the same
hairpin clip.

NOTE: If the grass collection system is removed for
any reason, it is not necessary to remove the support
